Sister, look at him!

Chapter 385 When the Rose Withers 8

Walking around the exquisite and gorgeous screen, Carol saw a large bed. The gauze curtains at the head of the bed were hanging down, making the shadows dim. Carol could only see the bulge on the bed.

She walked closer to the bed and finally saw Edwin lying on it.

He closed his eyes tightly, breathing weakly, and his face, which always had a flamboyant smile, was now as pale as paper. It was obvious that his condition was still serious.

Carol felt distressed and blamed herself. If she had not been curious that day, if she had sternly refused that day...

Tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes, flowed down his cheeks, gathered at his chin, and dripped onto the back of Edwin's hand.

Carol slowly squatted down and sat on the footstool next to the bed. She reached out her hand, gently held Edwin's slightly cold hand, and whispered his name, "Edwin...Edwin..."

Edwin did not sleep well, the scarlet eyes and cold fangs kept flashing in his dreams. He tried his best to escape, but he could not.

The sound of faint sobs came into his dreams.

At this moment, he was hiding in a low, dilapidated house. The whimpering sound came from far away, accompanied by a hazy call.

Edwin supported himself and barely got out of the shabby house. It began to rain, and the drops of rain hitting his body were scalding hot.

"Edwin...Edwin..."

The calls became more urgent, and the raindrops became more frequent.

A ray of light, golden, silver, and purple, shone on him.

The light was warm, interweaving on his body, urging him to run forward.

Edwin began to run forward with big strides. He ran faster and faster, and finally, he came to the end of the light.

Carol, with tears in her eyes, leaned against his bed, holding his hand and crying.

"Carol..."

Edwin called Carol's name in a dreamy voice.

The voice was faint, but Carol heard it clearly.

"Edwin!" Carol touched his face in surprise, "Edwin, are you awake?"

Edwin smiled weakly, "It is not a gentleman's thing to make a lady cry."

……

Parker thought he was alertly observing his surroundings, but to Zane, he was just acting sneakily with something to hide.

He strode up to Parker, his tall figure was very oppressive, and his handsome face was full of arrogance, "What are you doing?"

Parker was startled and stammered for a long time without uttering a word, but his nervous and frightened eyes kept looking towards the door.

Zane also looked at the door. Did anyone take the opportunity to sneak in? His younger brother Edwin was sick in bed at the moment. He didn't care about his younger brother, but that didn't mean he didn't care about the majesty of the Duke's Mansion.

He pushed Parker open and opened the door with force, and saw a beautiful screen with exquisite workmanship. The screen was very high, and the top was hollowed out. Others might not be able to see anything, but Zane was very tall, and when he stood in front of the screen, he could easily see the scene behind the screen through the hollow pattern of the screen.

A red figure was crawling into Edwin's closet.

interesting.

Zane slowly walked around the screen and came to Edwin's bed.

The veil had been drawn down, covering the head of the bed tightly. Edwin sat on the bed, looking pale. He lifted the veil and opened his mouth to say something to Zane, but a violent cough came out first.

Zain said nothing, but poured a glass of water from the side and handed it to him.

Edwin was somewhat surprised at the thoughtfulness of this elder brother. He took the water and said thank you obediently.

Zain took advantage of the situation and said, “Since you want to thank me, why not lend me a piece of clothing.”

Edwin's face changed slightly. Although he was still smiling, it was a little more forced. "Brother, you don't have any clothes. Do you still need to borrow mine?"

“There’s a brooch.” Zain pretended to be distressed, “My mother ordered it for both of us, but I don’t know where I lost mine.”

"It's just a brooch. I'll ask the maid to find it and send it to you later." Edwin just wanted to get rid of Zane as soon as possible.

Zain chuckled, “I’m in a hurry to use it, so I’d better find it myself.”

After that, Zain walked towards the rows of wardrobes.

Edwin’s face changed drastically, and he wanted to stop Zane, but due to his weak body, he couldn’t even get out of bed.

The layers of veil blocked Edwin's vision, and he could only roughly see which wardrobe Zane was opening.

"Over there, brother, the brooch cabinet is over there." Edwin pointed to the cabinet at the door.

Zain pretended not to hear it and walked towards the cabinet at the deepest part, next to the window, with a clear goal in mind.

found it.

Zane's lips curled up in a mocking arc. Who could it be? Edwin's friends?

The closet door opened, and the soft light from the room poured into the closet. The girl in the red dress covered her mouth and hid in the corner. Facing Zane's extremely aggressive gaze, Carol was desperate.

Zane was stunned.

He was only five years younger than Cyril, which meant he was not young anymore, but he had never married. The reason for that was simply that he was not interested in that.

What he wants is title, wealth, and supreme power.

But now, he actually had the urge to get married.

Zane reached out his hand to Carol, who closed her eyes in fear. The collar of her dress was gently pulled, and Carol carefully opened her eyes a little, and she saw that her rose brooch had been taken away by Zane.

Zane didn't expose Carol, he took the brooch and closed the cabinet door, "I got the brooch, goodbye, my dear brother."

Zane strode out, and Edwin didn't let Carol out until there was no more movement outside.

Carol was a little stunned. He didn’t understand what Zain’s actions meant.

"Fortunately, he didn't find you." Edwin was alarmed and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Carol wiped the sweat off his face and didn't mention that Zane had discovered her.

Edwin was already vulnerable enough, so she shouldn't say anything else to make him more worried.

"Carol, when I recover, I will take you to see a play again," Edwin promised.

Carol couldn't help but tease him, "Then are you still going to the East District?"

Edwin shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, I can't go there. It's too scary over there."

Carol couldn't help laughing.

The two chatted for a while before reluctantly saying goodbye to each other.

"Carol, I will be able to get out of bed soon and will definitely come to find you!" Edwin promised her again, "Really!"

Carol smiled at him, "Well, I believe you."

The return journey along the same route was surprisingly smooth. Not only did we not see anyone else, we didn't even see Parker.

Serinda was already getting impatient waiting outside, and she was in a bad mood when she sent Carol home.

"We're even now." Serinda's tone was firm.

Carol was happy to see her good friend. She said with a happy smile, "Well, thank you, Serinda."

Serinda was stunned when her name was suddenly called. Then she started to blush, her pretty face was full of embarrassment, and her aggressiveness disappeared.

She glared at Carol, and when she met Carol's sincere eyes, she seemed to be burned by something. She quickly withdrew her gaze and kept urging the coachman to go faster.
